Conductor562 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 As a tool junkie, I usually get nothing but tools for Christmas, but I usually give nothing but tools either. I picked up 4 of these for a rediculous $30 each a few months ago. My FIL got one for his birthday, I kept one (still in the box), and both my brother and my Dad are getting one for Christmas. It's one of the very few killer deals I've ever gotten at HD, but it was a good score! My BIL is a borrower. Pretty sure the only tools he has are the ones I've bought him for the past couple of Christmas' This year he's getting the Ridgid WD1640 Vac that I grabbed for $40 on Black Friday My FIL is getting the Husky retractable air hose reel (with the flexzilla knock-off hose) for the race trailer. I think it'll be a nice addition. The current hose is always in the way. My wife's grandpa is getting a Continental water hose. The man is 84 years old. He's too old to do much anymore, but he's still anal about water hoses. Pretty good gifts I think, especially when you consider I've only got around $200 invested in the whole lot. What tools are you guys giving this Christmas? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I know one thing is for sure, if I'm giving a tool away for a gift I at the very least have to have one of the same or better.....or I'm keeping it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I gave out two Fein drill kits to my nephews and a Wiha mini ratchet kit from KC to my niece's new husband. Also a selection of flashlights and some Mora knives as stuffers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Conveniently, I'm not married and I'm an only child so I'm probably keeping any tools I buy. My best friend from HS is like a brother to me, I generally only buy gifts for his Son but he's a little young for real tools, maybe if they lived in a house and his Dad had a garage but not in an apartment. WIth the auction, I murdered my tool budget for a few months so I guess that's my Christmas presents this year...depending on how quickly I can sell six maple top work benches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I bought my dad an Ingersoll Rand stubby 3/8 impact wrench for Christmas. My grandpa is getting a 12v 3/8 ingersoll Rand impact wrench and a Metabo angle grinder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm pretty lousy getting other people tool gifts. Only thing i can think of is getting my sister a milwaukee hand warmer to help with her Reynaulds. Her birthday was the 16th, so we went to see her and her husband in their new (to them) house. Got her the 3ah m12 battery and a multi voltage charger with it. She already loves it... That's about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 He's about to get a rifle actually. I'd love to get him a tool kit but with them living in an apartment it seems like a bad idea. His Dad does have a Bronco he's always working on(obviously, because it's a Ford) so maybe I'll get him a little creeper and some hand tools so he can help. I was helping my Dad in the garage by his age, actually a few years younger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
